Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         I unfortunately dont have much time for an update this morning so this will be short. Everything for the most part remains on track, with heavy snow expected to develop overnight tonight and last into friday. Snow will mix with sleet and freezing rain and perhaps some plain rain across Southern Vermont. So 6-10 inches is expected for much of the region with 3-6 inches for extreme Southern Vermont. Also with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, combined with the extreme dynamics of this storm, I wouldnt be suprised to see some isolated Thundersnow. Also by Friday evening winds will increase and will cause near Blizzard conditions. I will have a more in depth update later this afternoon. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing storm system.
